Tobacco, the Food and Drug Administration, and Congress

Smoking has been the number-one target of public health professionals in the United States for more than a decade because it is the leading cause of premature death. Nonetheless, no unified public health strategy has been developed. In 1995, with the strong endorsement of President Bill Clinton and Vice President Al Gore, the commissioner of the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), Dr. David Kessler, announced that the agency had jurisdiction over tobacco and would regulate cigarettes as "drug-delivery devices."1 The tobacco companies objected and sued the FDA, arguing that Congress had not given the FDA jurisdiction over their product. The Supreme Court, in a five-to-four opinion issued in March 2000, agreed with the tobacco companies.2 Although many public health experts were outraged by the result, the most remarkable thing about the case from our perspective was not the result, but the fact that four justices dissented. In this article, we outline the historical background of the opinion, explain why we feel it was not surprising, and offer a proposal for congressional action to reduce the harm caused by tobacco.

Former administration adviser: Iraq is a failed state, increasingly sectarian and extremist
By LU Staff April 12, 2015
The state of Iraq has descended into fractured sectarian madness that is unlikely to get better any time soon, according to a top adviser during the country's reconstruction post-2003.
Emma Sky, a senior fellow at Yale University's Jackson Institute and former Iraq adviser to Army Gen. Ray Odierno, expressed optimism just a year ago about the Obama administration's potential role in brokering a political solution by promoting the formation of a new Iraqi government.
Since then, the Yale scholar's view has changed. Writes Sky in an article for The Atlantic:
The state of Iraq has indeed failed. It no longer has the legitimacy or the power to extend control over its whole territory, and the power vacuum is being filled by a multitude of non-state actors, increasingly extreme and sectarian, who will likely continue to fight each other for years to come, supported by regional powers.

Since the Shiite-led Iraqi government lost control of territories to the Sunni Islamic State, a number of players in the region have battled to regain territory. Among these are Iraqi security forces, Iraqi Shiite militias supported by Iran, the Kurdish Peshmerga, and Sunni tribes. Each has its own aims in securing territory, sometimes trumping the interests of ensuring a safe and secure Iraqi state.
Sky worked in the Middle East for 20 years, according to the biography of her book, "The Unraveling: High Hopes And Missed Opportunities In Iraq." She initially signed up for a three-month assignment to help rebuild Iraq under the Coalition Provisional Authority, but ended up staying for more than four years.
Sky, an Englishwoman, earned respect in U.S. military circles. She was appointed as adviser to Odierno at the beginning of the troop surge in 2007. Shortly after the Islamic State swept through and overtook major areas of Iraqi territory in the summer of 2014, Sky outlined the issues in an article appearing in Foreign Affairs titled "Who Lost Iraq?"
Iraq's security forces were inept, allowing the Islamic State to secure territory although outnumbered by about 100 to one. Former Iraqi Prime Minister Nouri Al-Maliki ostracized Sunnis by misuse of power and cracking down on protests in Sunni areas.
Future Iraqi generations represent the hope of rebuilding on the country's vital role in history, says Sky.

FORMER Eastleigh striker Richard Gillespie, scorer of over 300 career goals, has confirmed his retirement from football.
The 34-year-old had signed for Dorchester Town, but made just five appearances for the Magpies, three from the bench, following his move from Poole Town.
Two offers came in from Evo-Stik Division One South clubs, but Gillespie was unwilling to step down a level.
Discussing his retirement, he told The (Dorset) Echo: "To be honest, it had been on my mind for a few months. I only want to play at the level I'm at – the Southern Premier or National League South.
"For me, the most enjoyable part of football is the challenge and dropping down levels is something I never wanted to do.
"I found I wasn't getting the game time I wanted at Poole, so that's what led to the move to Dorchester – and I wasn't getting the game time there either.
Gillespie made his Bashley debut aged 16 and remains their record scorer with 180 goals in 324 games.
Of his time at Eastleigh, he said: "Collectively the team under-achieved. We had a really good team, we should have been pushing for the Conference South title, but that never worked out.
"We got to the first round of the FA Cup and ended up letting in a goal in the 93rd minute away to Barrow.
"In one sense that was probably one of the lowest points of my career, but at the same time it was one of the highest.
"It was such a low point because we were so close to having a chance to get them back to our place and progressing to the next round. You were thinking 'what could've been'.
"Then, obviously winning the league with Poole. All in all, being with Poole has probably been my most enjoyable spell, purely because of the success we've had on the pitch.
"There's six or seven lads that have been there the whole time I've been there, it's made it really enjoyable and Tommy (Killick, manager) is a great guy as well.
With Killick currently serving a six-game stadium ban, Gillespie was in the dugout for Poole's 3-1 win over Merthyr Town last time out and will again help out coach Micky Hubbard away to second-placed Taunton on Saturday.
However, he hinted he would not take up management or coaching, adding: "I don't have any visions to be manager going forward, I think I'll just enjoy the opportunity for the next couple of weeks whilst it's there.

Q: API Graph Instagram, Insights, get count likes for user I want to get the total of like for a user profile, to do this I'm using this endpoint : https://developers.facebook.com/docs/instagram-api/reference/ig-user/insights#lecture:~:text=GET%20/%7Big%2Duser%2Did%7D/insights
I know this metrics is not available in the documentation but when I call the endpoint with a bad metric, the reponse show metrics available and here is the response:
"message": "(#100) metric[0] must be one of the following values: impressions, reach, follower_count,
email_contacts, phone_call_clicks, text_message_clicks, get_directions_clicks, website_clicks,
profile_views, audience_gender_age, audience_locale, audience_country, audience_city, online_followers,

https://graph.facebook.com/{ig-user-id}/insights?access_token={access-token}&metric=bad&period=lifetime

As you can see likes is available.
So when I call the endpoint with the metric likes, I get a new error:
"message": "(#100) The following metrics (likes) should be specified with parameter metric_type=total_value"

https://graph.facebook.com/{ig-user-id}/insights?access_token={access-token}&metric=likes&period=lifetime

Then I add the parameter metric_type with value total_value, and I get a new error:
"message": "(#100) Param metric_type on field insights: This param is not valid"

https://graph.facebook.com/{ig-user-id}/insights?access_token={access-token}&metric=likes&period=lifetime&metric_type=total_value

If someone know what i'm doing wrong, it will be a pleasure to get the solution.
Thank's for your responses !

This article would like to emphasize an extremely important point in bodybuilding that newbie bodybuilders, in their anxiousness to build big muscles fast, simply ignore – until they find out the hard way. Hopefully, this article can save you some lost time and agony and actually help you to speed up your muscle building.
It sounds like a lazy man's statement: "Yes, you can get big muscles by just training less." But, the truth of the matter is, that you can build bigger muscles faster by working out every other day.
I think many people have heard already that you should rest in between workouts, walk every other day, run every other day, etc. But, the question is, how seriously is this taken? I, for one, did not take this statement seriously thinking more is better. I will lose weight faster, get muscles faster, ram it up and get results faster by doing double the work. I think this is a widely accepted concept the average person relates to and believes – the more you do, the more you get; the more your practice your instrument, the better you get; the harder you study, the better the grades, etc. Thereby, the more time I spend in the gym or working out at home, the stronger and more muscular I will become. But, this concept just isn't so with muscle building and working out in general.
When it comes to bodybuilding, conventional wisdom goes right out the window. When we work out and are battling against resistance, the body sees this as potentially harmful. Thereby, as a natural adaptive response, the muscles hypertrophy (increase in size) to protect the body against this threat. By consistently increasing the resistance from week to week, the body continues to grow and adapt.
Though this may sound simple, it's important to realize can only grow bigger and stronger if there is sufficient recovery time. The process of muscle growth simply cannot take place without proper recovery time.
Your goal when training in the gym should be to train with a minimal amount of volume needed to get an adaptive response. Once you've pushed your muscles beyond their current capacity and once you have triggered the alarm system within you, your job is done. Further stress to the body beyond this will not only increase your recovery time, it will weaken your immune system and could send your body into catabolic overdrive.
Training more often and with more sets is not necessarily advantageous and most of the time not necessary. Doing high intensity weight training is more stressful to the body than you may think. You could end of structuring your workouts in a way that could actually hinder your progress.
For large muscle groups (chest, back and thights) perform about 5-8 sets; for smaller muscle groups (biceps, triceps, shoulders, calves, abs) perform 2-4 sets – or follow closely whatever plan is layed out in the program you are using.
If you are consistent with your training and train hard, then going beyond this and training longer and harder will just be counterproductive.
If you are excited about building bigger and stronger muscles and gaining overall body strength and have a real desire to follow a program proven to work and that is safe, I highly recommend Vince Delmonte's bodybuilding program. It is the No. 1 bodybuilding program on the internet today. After viewing his site, I think you will understand why. You owe it to yourself.
Some links on this website are affiliate links. That means means if you buy a product after clicking on one of those links, I get a commission for recommending the product to you. However, I do work very hard to recommend only high quality products and I backup the products I sell.
Can food affect your muscle building? You bet it can! While it is not the only component for building great muscles, it definitely plays a big role. Nutritious foods are non-negotible if you are trying to build muscle mass.
You can be very careful to execute your bodybuilding program, but if you ignore your diet, the necessary foods to build your body fast, you will have slow or no progress.
Though it may seem cumbersome to have to watch your diet, the benefits and end results will astound you and you will be glad you adhered to eating the right way. Also, like anything else, practicing good eating habits will become routine and muscle growth will soon be evident.
Protein (high on the list) such as red meat, eggs and whey (one of the best sources of protein you can find); fish such as tuna and sardines; and, of course, chicken. Cooked lentils is also loaded with protein!
Eliminating junk foods. I know, everyone hates this one, but it's true. This is a necessary evil to avoid if you wish to have a great and healthy body. By now you know those foods without thinking – sugar, processed foods, fatty foods, alcohol, salted nuts and chips, fried foods, etc.
Complimenting your muscle workouts with consistent nutritious food will give you greater energy to do your workouts , build your muscles faster and you will look and feel great in record time. By eating the right foods, you can expedite your muscle growth beyond belief. You just need to stick with a plan long enough to start to realize the results.

Also, under the Recipes tab on this blog, you will find a delicious low-fat, high protein recipe that I think you will love.

Most of us have created a wish list at some point in our lives. Yet, the older we get, the more we seem to find them a little embarrassing. But wish lists don't just belong to the days when we still believed in Father Christmas. In fact, the older we get, the more important I think they become.
Wish lists help to keep us focused. They help to keep in mind the bigger aim and the smaller steps we need to take in order to reach it.
One of my wish lists contains the names of people I really would like to meet. Sometimes people sit on my wish list for a few months while others have been there for years. One of those long-standing names on my list took over a decade before I finally had the opportunity to arrange a meaningful meeting. The wait was worth it – several other meetings followed and subsequently I was invited to become an approved supplier for his business.
At a Relationology event, I challenged the attendees to make a wish list of people they'd like to meet. One man added marketing guru Seth Godin to his list. I smiled as he did so, thinking 'there's a name that's going to be on his list for decades!' A short while after making the list, the student applied to be part of a small group of people chosen to spend a day with Seth Godin. Despite it being incredibly hard to be selected for this once in a lifetime opportunity, his application was successful, and he got to meet and spend time with the man himself.
For some years my wish lists were always mental ones, however, these lists have become so important to me that I now write them down. And they've got longer and longer. Inspired by my Relationology student I keep on adding names. Who knows where it will all end up?
ACTION: Start your wish list today.

If the Brooklyn heat is getting you down, you don't need to look far for an island respite. A Tropical Bar called the Diamond Reef is making a splash in NYC with an outdoor Island-themed patio complete with tiki torches, fairy lights and cocktails. Opened by the owners of cocktail lounge Attaboy in March, this downplayed venue is easy to go to and easy to like.
Decorated with tropical print wallpaper, wood panels, glass bricks and teal accents, the bar sets a true contrast to its surroundings: the Bedford-Stuyvesant industrial zone. Background music, patio furniture and a wide selection of craft beers successfully provide an immediate getaway without much effort.
Throughout the day the Diamond Reef offers a fun family experience with space for children to run around, while at night the pace winds down to compliment the Reef's famous drinks, which include the frozen slushy 'Penichillin', the 'Booze and Juice' and the 'Spicy Flamingo'. The crowd is mixed, a healthy combo of hipsters and suits all there to enjoy the summer-y atmosphere.

Patrick Schwarzenegger Charms and Chills in new film DANIEL ISN'T REAL
Published at: Dec. 6, 2019, 5 a.m. CST by McEric
Howdy, folks! McEric here with a review for a new thriller films called DANIEL ISN'T REAL, starring Patrick Schwarzenegger (MIDNIGHT SUN, SCOUTS GUIDE TO THE APOCALYPSE) and Miles Robbins (BLOCKERS, 2018's HALLOWEEN). After having to commit his mentally ill mother following a psychotic break, Luke (Robbins) finds support from the Imaginary Friend of his childhood, Daniel (Schwarzenegger), who seems to have all the answers Luke desperately needs. But Daniel's intentions aren't wholly altruistic, and a sinister desire begins to emerge as he exercises more control on Luke's life. DANIEL ISN'T REAL is being released by Samuel Goldwyn Films and Shudder and from Ace Pictures and SpectreVision.
Check out the trailer:
The film is directed by Adam Egypt Mortimer (HOLIDAYS, SOME KIND OF HATE) from a script he wrote along with the original novelist, Brian Deleuw. Notable producers on the film are Timur Bekbosunov and Elijah Wood, as well as much of the team that brought us MANDY last year. The stars are truly aligned for this film, and the talent shows through in the final product.
The first thing I noted with this film was the excellent sound design. It opens with Luke and Daniel as young boys, and their fantasies are given their due weight through sounds, where broomsticks clash with the sounds of clanging swords, and parachutes catch the air as they lay on the floor of the living room. With the impressive manner in which these scenes are shot and edited with foley, you know you're in for a movie that has considerable talent and effort behind it. I wish I could tell you this isn't a rarity and needn't be celebrated, but I think we all know that's not the world we're living in right now. So when I get the chance to review an independent film that those involved actually believe in enough to put the work in behind it, I get excited.
The film jumps forward in time to Luke's freshman year in college when he is called back home to attend to his mother, played by Mary Stuart Masterson who is given little screentime but is truly Some Kind of Wonderful in the time she is alloted. She has been harming herself and behaving erratically and Luke has her admitted to a facility where she can be cared for and looked after. As his own stresses mount, Daniel returns, helping him along the way.
Schwarzenegger and Robbins have great chemistry, and although the former spends quite a bit of his screentime detachedly observing and menacingly scrutinizing Luke's life, his "friendly" interactions show a genuine admiration. He charms when it benefits him, and relatively boils otherwise. As his control strengthens, we get further views into who or what Daniel might actually be, and the film finds its own voice as it trots past all of the obvious comparisons it draws.
The final conflict is predictable but enjoyable, and the film as a whole is quite good. Its strength is its two leads, with Schwarzenegger being the true standout. He relishes in the role, and his excitement and fun shine through the performance to the viewer's benefit. It's a truly unique slice of psychological terror that establishes its leads as rising talents and the production team behind it as trendsetters in the genre.
I had the opportunity to ask the titular Daniel a few questions, as he was gracious enough to loan his time. Check it out:
Eric McClanahan: Patrick, your role in "Daniel Isn't Real" is a delicious one that any actor would be thrilled to explore. What brought you to the project?
Patrick Schwarzenegger: I think that the reason that everyone was brought to the project and why I ended up doing it was, there are actually a few reasons, one was the character of Daniel. Something that I got to really dive into a full on character and someone that was completely different than not only myself, but any of the other roles or movies I've done prior. It kind of allowed me to spread my wings and do something different in the film world, and tap into an audience that I hadn't been a part of yet, and this genre I hadn't really been a part of yet. And also the movie really taps into serious subject matters of mental health and toxic masculinity and what it's like to be a young male with these kinds of issues. Those reasons are pretty much the things that drew me into the project.
EM: Did you work with your younger counterpart, Nathan Chandler Reid, at all to mirror one another's performance aspects to bring consistency to Daniel?
PS: You know what, we actually didn't. He met me, obviously with the filming and filming schedule you don't shoot everything chronologically, so he came in I think on like the second or third week, and obviously hair and makeup and wardrobe kind of dressed him in a similar sense and he got to meet me and watch some of the stuff I was doing. But we didn't have the privilege to meet each other prior to filming or for me to watch him and go continue that after. But I think he got to watch the stuff I did and mimic that and same with Miles Robbins character at the end of the movie.
EM: Daniel seemed to me to be an amalgamation of several cinematic creations: Brad Pitt's Tyler Durden from FIGHT CLUB, Al Pacino's John Milton from THE DEVIL'S ADVOCATE, and even a little of Christian Bale's Patrick Bateman from AMERICAN PSYCHO. Where did you draw your inspiration for the character?
PS: Yeah it's funny because I watched all of those, and I also included SPLIT, and I included SHUTTER ISLAND but yeah it's funny someone else had just asked me if you could play a villain which one would it be and Patrick Bateman is definitely at the top of that list just because I think that's kind of a character that on the exterior, on the outside, he seems like everybody else. He seems like, for everyone else, he has everything right? He's dressed in a suit, he's dressed well, handsome guy, has a great job, yet on the inside he's totally fucked up. And I think that's something that deals with mental health which is we never really know who's going through what, or what they're going through. Doesn't matter if they're a guy in a suit slicked back or someone that's homeless living on the street. But as far as kind of characters and movies that I'd watched, all of those that you listed plus the ones that I said and took characters, kind of different stuff from those but we also wanted to make it our own. And a way that we did that is we took out a lot of dialogue from the actual film. There were times that in the original script and in the book there was, from my perspective, a lot of dialogue and stuff. And we just took it out and did more of like me observing certain situations, me kind of that devil on the right shoulder for Luke's character. And yeah the inspiration came from a bunch of different projects, but we tried to find ways to make it our own.
EM: The film straddles so many genres and has drawn many comparisons. Some say it's a bit of DROP DEAD FRED with a bit of FIGHT CLUB, but by the third act it's something completely different. How would you describe the film to an interested party?
PS: Again, I think that as far as how it was written and directed, Adam had a bunch of different films that he loved as an inspiration, so I think that he definitely drew from some of those. I think he even talks about certain shots that he wanted to attempt to mimic or recreate from certain films. How do I describe it to an audience would be literally what it is. I mean it's kind of like an extreme mind bending film about a kid with schizophrenia and develops a traumatizing friendship with his imaginary friend. You know, that's kind of what it's about. And it's about their relationship, and it's an awesome and wild film that you probably have no idea what it's gonna be about.
EM: Once or twice we see Daniel as a demonic entity, a snaggle-toothed creature with a castle head... was that you?
PS: Yeah, it was me. And unfortunately, no one can tell that it's me. That was an 8 hour day of makeup. It's funny because we were debating, you know, with independent films obviously everything's on such a tight schedule, and they for some reason thought that the viewer would be able to tell that it's me. So I had to come in and do this 8 hour makeup; that was the only scene I could film that day because it took up this whole day of time. And then afterwards they were like "Oh shit, we should've just had someone else put on the hair and makeup do that, and we should've filmed other stuff with a v-cam," but yup, that's me.
EM: In your opinion, is Daniel a separate Demon or a dark aspect of Luke's psychology? He speaks as a timeless traveler but couldn't that all be part of Luke's imaginative coping mechanisms?
PS: I think it's a mix, it's really about who you ask. To one person, it might be that he's total imagination and he's nothing, but to Luke, and to people that--you hear that with mental health and with all this is that people have these voices in their head, they have these other aspects of their imagination and of their mind. And to some people it's like "okay, that person's crazy, they're just imagining things, there's nothing there" while to that person it's really real. That voice is really there, and speaking to them and driving them crazy, and driving them into anxiety and depression and everything. So I think that Daniel is very much real for Luke and for other people Luke is extremely crazy for thinking that.
EM: What's next for you?
PS: Ooh, I just filmed another psychological thriller called WARNING, that's coming out this next year. We filmed it earlier in this spring in Poland, and that's an anthology about dealing with relationships all in the future. So I'm really excited about that one. And then I just filmed another film this summer, called ECHO BOOMERS with Michael Shannon; he produced it and is starring in it as well, and that was the best script from Sundance, which is going to be awesome. And then right now I'm working on a Netflix movie with Amy Poehler; you know she's writing and directing and producing a project for them called MOXIE, which is about a feminist kind of group movement in the school to out toxic masculinity, which is also deals with a lot of social and political topics of today. It's really awesome to get to work with Amy and with Netflix so that's coming out this next year as well. So we have DANIEL ISN'T REAL coming out this weekend, and those three films coming out next year, which I'm extremely excited about.
EM: Any last comments you'd like to make to our readers to entice them to see DANIEL ISN'T REAL?
PS: The producers and the filmmakers behind this, they know what they're doing. Elijah Wood, they created MANDY, which was a massive hit among this genre of film audience. This movie is mind-bending and completely fucked up and dives into the idea of mental health and what it's like to have a relationship with that alter voice. This movie will definitely blow your mind and take you on a ride that you weren't expecting, and hopefully you enjoy it, cinematically.
Many thanks to Patrick Schwarzenegger for answering my questions and shedding a bit of light on the process behind DANIEL ISN'T REAL. And I gotta say, I'm inclined to agree with him. It is fucked up and will take you on a ride that you weren't expecting, and I mean all of that in a good way. If you're a fan of psychological terror and mind horror, check this flick out. I think you'll enjoy it. I know I did.
DANIEL ISN'T REAL is in theaters, on Digital and Demand today, December 6th. Until next time, I'll see you at the movies.

Hi there; I am completely new to this iphone religion and I have an old 3GS. I want to turn off the ring tones of my iphone completely. How where?
Then when I turn the ringer on and use the volume bars it shows zero for ringer and wint show the volume on there either. No sound on anything except FaceTime and when I change my ring tone. Can't make calls or listen to music or videos.
Thus, it is possible that your iPhone ringer is off and so your iPhone won�t ring. To make sure this isn�t the causing the problem, take a look at the Ring/Silent switch on the left side of your iPhone. If you see a small, orange line, your iPhone is on Silent mode as the switch is pulled away from the screen. To turn the ringer on, pull the switch towards the screen.


Poker's growing recognition as a game of skill has received a boost this month in two separate court rulings in Europe. In the Netherlands, an upper-level Dutch court has reaffirmed an earlier ruling that a small, semi-private tourney was not illegal under Dutch gambling law, while in Germany, a middle-level administrative court (similar to an appellate court) has reversed a lower-court ruling that held poker tourney buy-ins to be gambling wagers.
The Netherlands case in particular is good news for fans of poker. The case in question had bounced around for about seven years, following the arrest of the owners and operators of a €10 re-buy poker tournament at Amsterdam's Café de Viersprong Bussum.
The cafe's owners, Richard Blaas and Rene Kurver, were finally vindicated last week, though the damage had long since been done: their cafe had been shuttered by police following their 2007 arrest.
The pair's attorney, Peter Plasman, also figured in an earlier Dutch case where poker's skill elements also played a role. That was the 2010 prosecution of Dutch pro player and tourney organizer Steven van Zadelhoff, who was charged with similar violations of the country's gambling codes. Plasman appears to have drawn on his experience (and prior expert testimony) from the Zadelhoff case in winning acquitals for the former cafe owners, though he has cautioned in several public interviews that the issue remains unsettled, and verdicts are likely to be issued on a case-by-case basis.
In nearby Germany, home to one of Europe's most vibrant and numerous poker-playing populations, another "good for poker" ruling has emerged. This case involved the country's recently updated Interstate Treaty on Gambling, which has gone through multiple rewrites in the last decade. The case in question specifically addressed a €15 administrative fee that was being charged on a satellite tournament to a larger poker event being held in the neighboring Czech Republic.
This one was a trickier sort of question, because it involved one of the three traditional legal prongs of gambling activity (consideration in the form of a direct wager) as used in many Western countries, but the court ruled that the fee in question was not a wager.
The Federal Administrative Court in Leipzig has ruled today that a poker tournament in the variant "Texas Hold'em" at any rate not gambling within the meaning of § 284 of the Penal Code and § 3 para 1 State Treaty on gaming is when of the players only a participation fee € 15 is required which covers only the cost of events. The applicant held in Central Germany poker tournaments in the variant "Texas Hold'em". She wanted to perform in June 2010, a so-called qualifying tournament in Lutherstadt Wittenberg, which was open to participation by anyone and its winners – apart from low-cups – the free participation opened to other tournaments where larger gains were in prospect.
The defendant city Lutherstadt Wittenberg said the tournament on the grounds that it was a forbidden gambling. Was unsuccessful, the applicant brought an action to the grounds of which recited, among other things, the participants had to pay a participant fee of € 15 addition, any cash use, so it was only a question an amusement game. The Administrative Court dismissed the action on the grounds that a mere participation fee is a fee for obtaining a chance of winning, because it would open the way to obtaining profits. On the appeal on the applicant, the Federal Administrative Court that judgment and remanded the case to the Administrative Court. Although there is a gamble if a fee is demanded for obtaining a chance of winning the participants.
For this purpose, but not enough any monetary payment required is rather that the fee is being demanded for the chance to win, so that there is a necessary connection between the payment and the chance to win. It at a mere participation fee is lacking in any event, if so exclusively or predominantly the event costs are covered. Because the administrative court has not yet been clarified whether the requested payment by the applicant fulfills these conditions, the case was remitted to the Administrative Court.


cause for which it is made, and should be directed to the constable, or other peace officer, requiring him to bring the party either generally before any justice of the peace for the county, or only before the justice who granted it; the warrant in the latter case being called a special warrant.7 A general warrant to apprehend all persons suspected, without naming or particularly describing any person in special, is illegal and void for its uncertainty;8 for it is the duty of the magistrate, and ought not be left to the officer, to judge of the ground of suspicion. And a warrant to apprehend all persons guilty of a crime therein specified, is no legal warrant: for the point, upon which its authority rests, is a fact to be decided on a subsequent trial; namely, whether the person apprehended thereupon be really guilty or not. It is therefore in fact no warrant at all: for it will not justify the officer who acts under it;9 whereas a lawful warrant will at all events indemnify the officer, who executes the same ministerially. When a warrant is received by the officer, he is bound to execute it, so far as the jurisdiction of the magistrate and himself extends. A warrant from the chief, or other, justice of the court of king's bench extends all over the kingdom: and is teste'd, or dated, England; not Oxfordshire, Berks, or other particular county. But the warrant of a justice of the peace in one county, as Yorkshire, must be backed, that is, signed by a justice of the peace in another, as Middlesex, before it can be executed there. Formerly, regularly speaking, there ought to have been a fresh warrant in every fresh county; but the practice of backing warrants had long prevailed without law, and was at last authorized by statutes 23 Geo. II. c. 26. and 24 Geo. II. c. 55.
3. ANY private person (and a fortiori a peace officer) that is present when any felony is committed, is bound by the law to arrest the felon; on pain of fine and imprisonment, if he escapes through the negligence of the bystanders.14 And they may justify breaking open doors upon following such felon: and if they kill him, provided he cannot be otherwise taken, it is justifiable; though if they are killed in endeavoring to make such arrest, it is murder.15 Upon probable suspicion also a private person may arrest the felon, or other person so suspected,16 but the cannot justify breaking open doors to do it; and if either party kill the other in the attempt, it is manslaughter, and no more.17 It is no more, because there is no malicious design to kill: but it amounts to so much, because it would be of most pernicious consequence, if, under pretense of suspecting felony, any private person might break open a house, or kill another; and also because such arrest upon suspicion is barely permitted by the law, and not enjoined, as in the case of those who are present when a felony is committed.


The early history of Kobudo in Matsubayashi-Ryu is well known to have been influenced by Shinei Kyan. Kyan sensei is known to be directly responsible for the introduction of two bo katas, Shiromatsu No Kun and Shirotaro No Kun. A generation of pioneer Kodokan yudansha learned Kyan's Kobudo.
Kyan sensei is said to have been influenced by several of the well known Kobudo practitioners of that era such as Oshiro Chojo (Yamani Ryu), Shosei Kina and Hanashiro Chomo. As a result, Kyan sensei was also responsible for introducing sai (Kyan No Sai and Hanagushiku No Sai) to the students of the early Honbu dojo.
One of the well known early Karateka in the Honbu dojo was Chokei Kishaba. Kishaba's brother, Chogi Kishaba, although not a Matsubayashi Ryu practitioner, was responsible for introducing and teaching other bo kata to many of the Kodokan early day karateka. Chogi Kishaba was primarily a practioner of Masami Chinen's Bo techniques (Yamani Ryu).
Today the influence of these early Kobudo instructors is still reflected in the katas taught and practiced in Matsubayashi-Ryu dojo in Okinawa and throughout the world. The following weapons are the most common utilized by students of Matsubayashi-Ryu Kobudo. Students will usually practice with several weapons but select a single weapon in which to specialize.
The bo is a long wooden staff about 6 feet in length. Five of the bo kata often practiced in Matsubayashi-Ryu are "Shiromatsu No Kon", "Shirataro No Kon," "Sakugawa No Kon" , "Shusi No Kon" and "Choun No Kun".
The iron weapon, sai, which in olden days was used by officials to arrest criminals and to hold back crowds, was actually created to defend against attacks from swords, bo, nunchaku or tuifa. One of the sai kata practiced in Matsubayashi-Ryu is called "Chomo Hanagusku No Sai." "Hanagusku" is the Okinawan pronunciation of "Hanashiro." The kata known as "Kyan No Sai" is also widely practiced. Kyan Sensei developed the basic Sai Dai Ichi Kata, which was often performed by small groups in demonstrations.
The nunchaku is a pair of hard wooden sticks with a cord attached at the end. The centrifugal force produced by swinging the nunchaku makes it an effective weapon.
It is often said that nunchaku were originally used in the rice thrashing process. However, it is more likely that they were derived from horse bridles or pull carts. Two kata often practiced are known as "Maezato No Sho" and a kata known only as "Nunchaku Sho".
Kama are hand sickles which were originally used for agricultural purposes. "Kishaba No Kama" is the kama kata that is widely practiced.

Walmart is taking a major step away from inhumane factory-farming practices. America's largest food seller has accepted the globally recognized "Five Freedoms" of animal welfare.
"We recognize that farm animals play an important role in providing nutritious meat, dairy and eggs to our customers and members," Walmart said in a press release. "We believe that farm animals in our supply chain should be treated humanely throughout their lives and that the welfare of farm animals should be considered in selection of all production systems, practices and technologies."
#1. Freedom from hunger or thirst by ready access to fresh water and a diet to maintain full health and vigor.
#2. Freedom from discomfort by providing an appropriate environment including shelter and a comfortable resting area.
#3. Freedom from pain, injury, or disease by prevention or rapid diagnosis and treatment.
#4. Freedom to express normal behavior by providing sufficient space, proper facilities, and company of the animal's own kind.
#5. Freedom from fear and distress by ensuring conditions and treatment that avoid mental suffering.
To uphold these principles, Walmart will work with suppliers to ensure that animals have access to food and water, adequate shelter and resting areas, preventative measures against disease or rapid treatment, and adequate space for living and socializing. Walmart has also said it will not tolerate any animal abuse.
In addition to asking suppliers to uphold these five freedoms, Walmart is targeting some especially troubling practices, including confined spaces (like gestation crates, veal crates, and hen battery cages); tail docking, dehorning, or castration without pain management; and painful slaughter. The company is also asking suppliers to increase transparency to ensure that this happens. While there's no official mandate or timeline for Walmart's suppliers, given Walmart's size and clout, we're optimistic that this could have industry-wide impacts.
Walmart is joining the ranks of several other huge food companies to make an announcement that could have major implications for the rest of the food industry. For instance, when McDonald's announced that it would no longer sell chicken produced with medically important antibiotics, Tyson soon after declared that it would stop using human antibiotics in its chicken production. Aramark, a major food-service company, has also recently announced that it will be implementing more humane measures in its food production.

Grocery boy still remembers greatest game ever played
Thirty-nine years later, it is still the greatest college football game ever played.
But at 4 o'clock on Dec. 31, 1973, I had additional worries. Could we get to Tulane Stadium?
A heavy line of thunderstorms rolled in the metro area. As my friends and I drove to the Sugar Bowl game, water brushed up against our car doors on West Esplanade Avenue.
For a 16-year-old student who had tickets to see Alabama vs. Notre Dame, I wondered if we would ever get uptown.
When we finally arrived, we knew we'd see a championship game. We didn't know we were about to see something very special.
Leading 7-6, the Crimson Tide kicked off to Al Hunter. Hunter ran straight at us to the south end zone for a 93-yard touchdown.
Late in the fourth quarter, with Notre Dame leading 24-23, Tide punter Greg Gantt came up with one of the clutch kicks in the history of college football. His 69-yard punt was boomed to the Irish's 1-yard line.
To this day, I can see Alabama coach Paul "Bear" Bryant on the sidelines as the Tide punt return team lined up behind him.
What followed next was one of the most famous plays in the history of the college game. Notre Dame quarterback Tom Clements faked a handoff on third-and-8 and threw a 35-yard pass to obscure tight end Robin Weber.
The play was designed to go to Notre Dame's star tight end Dave Casper. But Weber was so wide open that Clements had no choice but to toss it his way.
Weber, who needed a cortisone shot in his knee just to play in the game, caught the Clements floater for a 35-yard completion. With that catch, Weber had doubled his reception total for the season.
Notre Dame ran out the clock and won its ninth national championship.
The Notre Dame students, huddled by the thousands in the south end zone, stormed the field.
That week, I asked buddies who were Notre Dame fans, "Who's the best team in the country?"
"Oklahoma, of course," they said.
The Sooners were 10-0-1 that season. But they were in the first year of a two-year probation and bowl ban.
Moments after we walked out of Tulane Stadium, a disappointed son of the South and fan of the Southeastern Conference asked again, "Who's the best team in the country?"
"Notre Dame, of course."
Alabama was still national champions, too. The wire service United Press International (UPI) had awarded Alabama a national championship before the bowls.
A little-remembered fact from that night: Alabama's winless streak in bowl games under the legendary Bryant was stretched to seven games.
In 1973, tickets to a national championship game were still financially feasible for a high school student working part time at a Winn-Dixie store.
The demanding owner did not like it one bit when one of his part-timers asked off on one of the biggest grocery shopping days of the season. But he relented.
And, a high school kid who loved college football had a lifetime memory.

Vince McMahon changes mind about mixing WWE brands
by SIMONE BRUGNOLI | VIEW 702
In recent months, WWE Universe fans have noticed that calls from NXT to the main roster of this last year have been seen more and more rarely and above all the movements between one roster and another have become almost banned, after that a new rule staged by Vince McMahon himself allowed one or more athletes to change roster even just for one night, so as to mix the cards up a bit.
During 2019, Vince McMahon devised the strange rule of the "Wild Card Rule", which allowed, as mentioned above, one or more wrestlers to attend weekly even in a show different from his own, with Charlotte Flair, the New Day, Roman Reigns and many other athletes who at the beginning made use of this rule, in order to stage the most exciting matches that the management thought they could create.
In the last year, however, the world pandemic has hit the WWE very hard, which has thus decided to keep its rosters well separated, so as to be able to create great Superstars in each brand, without removing the best athletes in each roster in order to bring forward all the shows.
Furthermore, in this year's edition of Survivor Series, there was not even the presence of a single NXT fighter, which instead last year had been ensured for a large part of the roster.
This claim was made by Vince himself, who wanted to leave the roster of the Wednesday night yellow show separate from those of the main roster, of Smackdown and Raw. Apparently, however, Vince McMahon is said to have changed his mind soon, once again, deciding to bring up the Lucha House Party in the latest episode of NXT, which aired Wednesday night, with the well-known Wrestling Observer journalist, Dave Meltzer, who in fact stated: "Vince McMahon has obviously changed his mind about this because obviously there's no big deal in putting the Lucha House Party on NXT."
Although the WWE patron said stop moving only in November, after just two months he would immediately turn around, preferring the flexibility of his athletes to the consistency of his words. This change for WWE could happen during a perfect moment.
The Royal Rumble is coming up, an event which usually sees all three WWE brands compete in the big battle royal matches. We'll have to see if NXT joins the main roster for the Royal Rumble once again. The idea seems very likely at this point given the Lucha House Party's arrival in NXT.

How a robot helps dementia patients at Minnesota nursing home: "We are taking them back in time"
Roseville, Minnesota — Jill Breckenridge has a new friend at her Minnesota nursing home — but it's not a person. It's a special robot named Pepper that can talk and even dance with the residents to keep them active.
Amid staffing shortages at nursing homes, the robot is part of a pilot program that's helping seniors both physically and mentally. Pepper's special power is using new technology to bring up old memories to help dementia patients.
Breckenridge, 83, was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease, but when Pepper shows her a video with pictures of her past, the memories come flooding back.
"I loved my horse, Lucky Strike. And they would get the cart and we put that horse in and he took us to the different rodeos and I always ran first," she recalled.
Arshia Khan, a professor at the University of Minnesota Duluth, is the brain behind the robots.
Khan said she was "almost in tears" after seeing Breckenridge interact with Pepper.
"It was like, that is what I wanted. We are taking them back in time, because they have lost that time," Khan said. "It's gone, forgotten. But I'm able to bring that back to them at least for a little while."
Breckenridge's daughter, Sharon Fenn, said she could tell her mother was having "a wonderful time" with the robot.
"I could tell … when I was watching her. She was beaming," Fenn said.

FLOOR SLAPS: Perimeter offense propels Marquette to 9-3 non-conference finish
John Steppe, Assistant Sports Editor|December 21, 2017
Markus Howard was one of three Marquette players to score in double figures against American.

Marquette lived and died by the 3-point shot throughout its non-conference slate, attempting 29 3-pointers per game entering play Thursday.
Its non-conference finale was no different, as 14 3-pointers fueled a 92-51 win over American Thursday night. Here are the Floor Slaps from the Golden Eagles' final game before the BIG EAST conference kicks off next week.
BALL MOVEMENT ALLOWS HAUSER TO SHINE
Sam Hauser scored a seemingly insurmountable 30 points earlier in the year against Eastern Illinois.
Hauser flirted with that record Thursday, scoring 29 points on a career-best seven 3-pointers. Hauser has now scored at least 15 points in six of Marquette's last eight contests.
Quick, efficient ball handling helped Hauser's 3-point shooting. Marquette's 23 assists are the most the Golden Eagles have recorded this season.
"His teammates did a terrific job of finding him when he was open," head coach Steve Wojciechowski said. "And Sam did a great job of finding openings in their defense."
Hauser and teammates Markus Howard and Andrew Rowsey each had 10-plus points in eight of the team's 12 non-conference contests.
BIG DIFFERENCE BY BIG MEN
Productive nights from big men Matt Heldt, Theo John and Harry Froling gave Marquette an authoritative 28-18 edge in points in the paint.
Marquette out-rebounded American, 36-20, and grabbed 21 of the first 28 rebounds.
John's six points was one short of a career high. Heldt had his third-highest scoring output at home this season with four points. Froling had nine after a scoreless Marquette debut Monday.
Post presence has not typically been Marquette's specialty this season. The Golden Eagles entered play slotted ninth in the BIG EAST in rebounding margin and last in defensive rebounds.
TURNOVERS GALORE
Marquette finished the first half with a 16-point lead but didn't have the most fundamentally sound path to get there. Both teams combined for 16 turnovers in the first 13 minutes.
"Our guys were not patient on offense in the first half and trying to force things that weren't necessarily there," Wojo said. "I thought we missed a lot of kicks in the first half. We didn't move the defense before we attacked it."
Marquette took better care of the basketball in the second half, committing just three turnovers. Wojo attributed it to "a nice, meaningful discussion at halftime."
American's offense did not make that transition. Eight second-half turnovers along with 21 percent shooting limited the Eagles to 21 points after intermission.
The Golden Eagles have been in the middle of the pack this season in the turnover battle, entering play with a plus-1.9 turnover differential. Marquette's nine first half turnovers nearly equaled the giveaway output for the entire game against Northern Illinois (11).
QUOTE OF THE NIGHT
"Obviously these games right before Christmas, guys can start thinking about candy canes and Christmas trees when they should be thinking about defense and sharing the ball on the offensive end," Wojo said.
STAT OF THE NIGHT
Marquette is 7-1 when Howard, Rowsey and Hauser all score in double digits, compared to 2-2 when at least one player does not score 10 points.
The Golden Eagles will have a six-day break before hosting No. 9 Xavier for its BIG EAST lid-lifter. KenPom, a prominent college basketball analytics site, gives the Golden Eagles a 42 percent chance of winning.

New Zealand is also such a country, and this is its true strength.
In a liberal democracy like New Zealand, the Rule of Law, not the will of government, must be the foundation of our peace and security.
As the newly-elected Member of Parliament for Pakuranga, Law & Order is one of my key priorities. In a survey mailed out to my constituents at the end of last year, I asked them to specify their three most important issues.
Consistently, Law & Order was one of the top concerns.
Yet, the will of government is not sufficient to bring this about; throwing money at Law & Order will not be enough to make them go away. We must be a country that is tough on those who break the law and one that protects those who respect it.
This Bill, drawn from the ballot last month, takes aim at the real causes of crime and suffering in our communities. Resolving this issue is found by taking both a hard-line stance on the dealers and criminals who sell these harmful drugs, and by understanding the need for sympathy and care for those caught in harm's way by these drugs.
That is why, I have called for an increase in the penalty for those found guilty of dealing synthetic drugs but have also called for a Parliamentary Select Committee Inquiry into those who suffer with addiction and how we can support them.
In the light of the harm caused by synthetic drugs, it is time that we increased the penalty that those found guilty of dealing these drugs deserve.
In preparing this Bill, I sat with or heard from several families who have had loved ones severely harmed or die from synthetic drugs. As I have spoken with those who have seen first-hand the extent of the damaged caused by these drugs, I have come to understand the need for this two-pronged approach.
Our law is written to protect the vulnerable, help those in need, and foster strong communities. To do this, we must continue to support strong Law & Order policies, providing the Police with the means and authority to serve and protect our communities.
If the police are afraid to act or are restrained by excessive limitations, a dangerous message is sent out to those who do not want to respect our laws.
We must have a consistent message that says there is no room for those who don't want to abide by the law. In order to achieve this, we must do more than put more cops on the beat, though that is a strong first step. We must also foster a culture of support and safety throughout our communities.
Organisations such as Howick-Pakuranga Community Patrol, the Asian Council on Reducing Crime, and Community Law, are vital to such work.
Communities can step up and be the solutions to the concerns they face.
I am proud to be an MP that takes a strong stand against crime and that works with all those seeking to promote safe communities in our area.
To me, a safe community is not just a slogan.
As we continue to work together and stand with the backing of law against those who undermine the safety of our communities, it becomes a reality.
I hope you will sign my petition on my website as a mark of your support and to set up an inquiry so that we can help better those who suffer from addiction.


Tax season is a nail biter this year for many Australians. Through the year, business runs as usual, and then the bill comes. Like the end of a five-course dinner, the ATO check drops. OH MAN – There is no way that is payable unless you want to skip employee pay checks this month – as tempting as that is. Don't let it sit and fester, seek a tax debt loan solution!
Don't feel alone, the tax burden this year is heavy for many Australians. Particularly for small business owners who are unaware of the tax loop holes that the larger companies use. Yeah the big guys are making more than you and paying less for it, hmm, that seems unfair.
The regulations that are in place create an unfair market place for small to medium businesses. With the current tax laws, big companies are paying an effective tax rate of 10 percent or less. Nobody likes tax, but even more, nobody likes to know that the big business bullies are practicing tax avoidance and creating an unfair, noncompetitive market place. This is in spite of various business groups who have cautioned the Federal Government against routine tax avoidance for the effects it could have on the economy.
Company directors experience tax debt difficulties for many reasons, ranging from late debt payments, lack of tax insight, to poor advice from experts. Don't let yourself drown in tax debt, there are many off ramps, including tax debt loans. Work with experts who have an extensive network of private funding at their disposal. We know tax debt loans and want to help you make the business tax cutoff on October 31st!
If you find yourself in this situation, reach out to the business loans experts, and avoid the stress this season. Hear how we worked with Alan, an Australian small business owner, helped him pay off his tax debt and return to a positive balance sheet.
All of the factors combined to result in a rejection to his loan application. Just like his primary business bank, all the other banks declined his loan applications as well.
He was amazed to find that the Australian Lending Centre offered an ideal solution for his needs. We help business owners pay off their tax debts by understanding the small businesses circumstances and tailoring tax debt loans to their individual cash flow needs.
After calling our offices and speaking to a friendly consultant, Alan was able to secure a business tax debt loan that not only provided him with the funds to cover his tax debts he could also pay wages this month.
This approach helped Alan to get rid of the tax debt that was weighing heavily on his shoulders and to put the business back into profitability. Tax debt loans saved the day and his employees rejoiced as they were handed the pay cheques they deserve.
If you are struggling to repay your tax debt, apply for a business tax debt loan from the Australian Lending Centre.
